Early in-person voting is at City Hall, 300 Park Ave, Falls Church, VA 22046

The Drop Box for by-mail ballots is in front of City Hall, 300 Park Ave, Falls Church, VA 22046

By-mail voters: Due to a recent law change, your Envelope B "Statement of Voter" no longer requires a witness signature. Instead, you are required to write the last four digits of your social security number and your birth year. While the Instructions and the Envelope B were updated appropriately as they were priorities, logistically, we could not update the information on the Envelope A which still contains information about the witness signature. All envelopes will be updated in time for the General Election in 2024.
